Re: cakephp app as part of static site

Hi

There's nothing particularly clever needs doing for this. I did exactly the same thing recently where we built a mini site to sit in a sub folder of the customer's existing site.

The only 'issue' I had was I had to edit the standard .htaccess files slightly to set the RewriteBase path properly (which I got help from on this list) you might not even need to do this but what I ended up with was..

mysite.com/webapp/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /webapp
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

mysite.com/webapp/app/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /webapp/app/
RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

mysite.com/webapp/app/webroot/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /webapp/app/webroot/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Cheers

Paul
